The taxi ride was incredibly cheap, only costing 10 Yuan, which is about a pound. I don't understand how they are so cheap here, maybe because all the taxis are electric or the government subsidizes the taxi drivers.
What was the Chongqing hot pot like?
It was amazing! We tried both mild and spicy versions. The mild one was delicious, and the spicy one was incredibly hot, but still tasty. The technique of adding the ingredients was fascinating.
What was the Luohan Temple like?
It was so beautiful and peaceful! It's a thousand-year-old Buddhist temple right in the city center, surrounded by high-rise buildings. It was a nice, quiet space for some mindfulness.
What was the most memorable part of the trip?
Definitely Hongya Cave at night. It was absolutely nuts! So many people, so many lights, it was like something out of a movie. It was a stimulation overload, but in a good way.
What's one thing you would recommend to other travelers?
If you're coming to China, definitely put Chongqing on your list. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before in my life!
